PRECIOUS - PARK SEONGHWA

33

For the next few days, Y/n barely ate or slept properly. She cried herself to sleep every night. The memories of everything going around and what happened still hunted her in her sleep.

The guys tried their best at helping her out and taking care of her even though Seonghwa didn't like the idea of it but he couldn't just let her like that without a proper care. He still listened to his heart sometimes which made him flustered and afraid of getting heart broken again.

Hongjoong and the others tried to convince him to at least listen to her but he refused. Even San was ignored by him.

One night, San visited y/n and learned about a lot of things which somehow started making sense to him. He believed her and listened to her plan. He promised to try again and talk with Seonghwa, to let him know the truth whether he liked it or not.

One day, After a lot of efforts and energy of convincing Y/n, she finally agreed and left her room. San and the others were glad that she finally started healing and interacting with them.

Wooyoung, Yunho and Jongho made lunch together for the team and told San to bring her to their table, so he was happy after successfully walking by her side to the dinning room.

"Hello, take a seat and help yourself. Just to let you know I'm the chef in this house so if you ever crave something just tell me okay?" Wooyoung exclaimed excitedly as he felt proud of himself.

Y/n shyly nodded and thanked him after.

All of them took their seats and she noticed that one seat was empty and she knew who was supposed to be sat there. She was feeling nervous but decided to forget about it and enjoy the food.

The table was big and long, full of various dishes and drinks.

It felt unreal that moment. Just a peaceful mood where people enjoyed food and laughed about silly things. They never looked harmful or looked like mafia members.

Y/n watched them one by one and she thought about how fast she felt comfortable with them when they literally were her rivals. But not anymore. She told San everything that she was willing to do and he comforted her by telling her that she was safe with them and they wouldn't try to hurt her. San already knew that before convincing others because he witnessed everything when he was a spy at Wonshik's.

The only problem that they had to work on was getting it inside Seonghwa's head. He refused to listen to any of them about anything that has a thing to do with her.

At least she had great friends around and a mansion where she sleeps after loosing everything and everyone.

The guys worked hard to never let her feel like she did lose everything. They listened to her when she spoke and even changed frome the first day they met.

Later that day...

Y/n's POV:

I walked inside the big library that Mingi mentioned was downstairs and got surprised when I noticed the amount of books and shelves they had.

I walked slowly further inside and found a book guide which was placed neatly on a small table. It had every book title with it's author's name and some details and most important where and which shelf it was in.

I looked for some interesting book as I read some of the titles since I started feeling bored staying in the bedroom for a long time.

The double door of the library opened and I turned to look who came in. My eyes made contact with Seonghwa's but his changed quickly from soft ones to mad and intimidating ones.

"What are you doing here?" He asked harshly and walked towards me.

"I..." I opened my mouth to answer his question but he snatched the book guide from my hand and asked again.

"Who gave you the right to walk inside here?" He looked at me dead serious in the eyes. He stood so close to me that my chest almost touched his ribs.

I looked at him with wide eyes as I barely breathed. His figure was towering over mine which made me shake a little bit in fear. He was the only one who made me feel this way.

Tears started to gather in my eyes as I stood weakly in front of him, feeling helpless and anxious.

Since when did I became this weak and sensitive? Why do I feel this way?

He sighed while closing his eyes for a moment after not hearing anything from me. He dropped the book guide on the table again, making me flinch.

"Stop with your useless games Y/n. They aren't gonna work on me" He whispered while gritting his teeth.

He then walked away, leaving immediately after he showed his hatred towards me again. My tears dropped and it was only because I stood in front of him not able to defend myself like before and the fact that it was the first time hearing my name coming out from his mouth.

After a few minutes, I took a deep breath, collecting myself then wiped my tears with the hem of my dress.

I left the library heading straight to the my own bedroom and specifically to my bathroom. I splashed water on my face in hope to wash away the tears and the pain that I felt inside my heart.

"Get your shit together Y/n!! For God's sake!" I shouted at my reflection in the mirror. I was at the verge of a break down again but I refused to let it happen. Not when Yunho walked in checking on me.

"Hey, are you okay there?" He knocked softly on the bathroom's door.

I closed my eyes tightly when gripping on the sink as if my life depended on it.

I was losing it.
